A portable baseboard is an easy way to add supplementary heat to any room. The nice advantageof a baseboard is that its quiet and trouble free. A tip over switch is standard so that if the heater is knocked over, it will shut off automatically. It has a built-in thermostat and a 6ft, 3-wire grounded outlet plug for additional safety. This heater is so rugged that it is approved for U.S. government contracts.
